The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Bath repair in Tinwald, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Tinwald?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Tinwald
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tinwald use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tinwald. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
